"We have been campaigning for the last two years for an independent review. The hospital now have decided to do a partially independent review, they are only covering the investigation itself.

"This is not about the blame… it’s ensuring there are no more victims out there.

"They had multiple opportunities to intervene… We sent the smears and biopsies off for independent analysis. They came back as riddled with cancer cells."

Kevin confessed he was "dumbstruck" when they were told at a private hospital that Julie had cancer.

He said that if "corrective actions" from previous reviews had been put in place then Julie "would be alive".

Kevin asked: "Are there more victims? They need to go back to 2014, are there other victims out there?

“I’m not angry, that’s not going to help us and not going to help Julie, just frustrated. We would just like an independent public inquiry."

Julie's daughter Sophie, 22, said her mum created "positivity and happiness" for her and her bother until the very end.

Sophie said: “My mum she created a really big legacy in our family. She was never negative about any of this...I promised that I would look after my dad and my brother for her.”

On what her mum was like, she said: "She was really funny. There isn’t a moment in my life when I don’t remember her making things better, making me laugh.

"I can remember being a bit of a drama queen and she brought me back down to earth.

"She was just a caring mum. There will always be a mum-shaped hole in our life now. But she’s taught me and my brother good values and things to keep going forward."

A spokesman for the North Bristol NHS Trust said: “We are committed to understanding the full circumstances of the case we provided so we can improve our services for the future, and we will be publicly open with the overall findings of the independent investigation we have commissioned."
